Although the medical marijuana program in Pennsylvania has been passed into law, it is has yet to get up and running, spurring questions from some Pittsburgh City Council members as to what the program will look like in the city.

Councilman Corey O’Connor, along with Sen. Daylin Leach, one of the prime sponsors of Act 16 of 2016, held a post agenda meeting Thursday afternoon to brief the city officials on what they can expect when the growing/processing and dispensary facilities open in Pittsburgh.

With the announcement of medical marijuana facility permits by the state Health Department last month, the Pittsburgh area is set to receive one growing/processing plant in McKeesport and three primary dispensary locations set for Oakland, Lawrenceville, and Squirrel Hill. Under the law, each dispensary is allowed up to three different locations.
